no it doesn't, the Rx is always zero. Tx works, pmidi 64:0 file.mid
causes the Tx number to go up and I can hear the sound on external
synth. However the Rx is always zero:
EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)
Output 0
Tx bytes : 16212
Input 0
Rx bytes : 0
Buffer size : 4096
Avail : 0
Overruns : 0
when I connect keyboard to external synth directly it works (it also
works under windows).

not sure what's that supposed to be but here's it is:
Client info
cur clients : 4
peak clients : 5
max clients : 192
Client 0 : "System" [Kernel]
Port 0 : "Timer" (Rwe-)
Port 1 : "Announce" (R-e-)
Connecting To: 63:0
Client 63 : "OSS sequencer" [Kernel]
Port 0 : "Receiver" (-we-)
Connected From: 0:1
Output pool :
Pool size : 1024
Cells in use : 0
Peak cells in use : 0
Alloc success : 0
Alloc failures : 0
Client 64 : "External MIDI 0" [Kernel]
Port 0 : "MIDI 0-0" (RWeX)
Connecting To: 65:0
Client 65 : "Emu10k1 WaveTable" [Kernel]
Port 0 : "Emu10k1 Port 0" (-We-)
Connected From: 64:0
Port 1 : "Emu10k1 Port 1" (-We-)
Port 2 : "Emu10k1 Port 2" (-We-)
Port 3 : "Emu10k1 Port 3" (-We-)
is there something I need to setup in mixer? Is it possible that I am
missing some driver (considering that Tx works)?
here's my system:
soundblaster live! platinum (using midi in and midi out on front
panel)
linux 2.4.18
alsa 0.9.0rc1-2 (that's debian version, AFAIK it's the second
packaging of 0.9.0rc1)
thank you,
erik
